A Hands-on Project for a Wood Structures CourseAbstractThe material behavior of wood used in structural applications is a complicated topic. Thestrength values differ in each direction and for each type of loading as opposed to the relativelysimple yield and fracture strengths of steel, or the trusty compressive strength of concrete.Professors at two universities have implemented a hands-on project in the Structural WoodDesign course at their respective universities with the objective of stimulating critical thinking inrelation to the behavior of wood structural members. Teams of four to five students are given alist of available wood members to choose from including dimension lumber, plywood, OSB, andsets of nails and

To compete for time in this new study-scape, the study of engineeringconcepts must be re-cast into exercises that entice students with interesting and evenentertaining results. In this paper we describe several projects that have been incorporatedinto the ME curriculum at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) to keep students engagedin their studies and improve the acquisition of engineering concepts as well as designskills. In this paper the authors examine case-study projects used at VMI and, based ontheir experiences with these projects, conclude

Engineering projectshave become more complicated in recent years. One solution to solving complex problems andworking on engineering projects is team building. Competent and effective team buildingrequires time and effort in the workplace or school. To best prepare students to meet theengineering profession’s demands and the needs of experienced professionals, teamwork andteam building need to be taught in the educational system.

Most students realize that several artificial constraints are in play for these student-centered projects. These artificial elements include – but are not limited to: 1) the short-termnature of the team assignments, 2) the final objective of the project assignment [usually a reportor an artificial product] which is generally never developed into a sustainable design or functionalproduct that will ultimately be manufactured, distributed, and maintained throughout a typicallifecycle, 3) the low probability that their individual long-term success is

In addition, students develop self-efficacy in their discipline throughparticipating in cross-disciplinary experiences [5]. Cross-disciplinary experiences also helpstudents learn to value expertise outside their area of study and appreciate the limitations andconstraints of information in other fields [6]. Course instructors can also benefit from sharingresponsibility for a course and learning about other disciplines [7].The unfamiliarity of cross-disciplinary activities can lead to frustrations despite their manybenefits.
